The Tiki Bar is open!

After a long delay...the tiki bar is finally open. The home grown bamboo, ampha's metal frame, and the old long board have come together pretty well.

Here is an inside picture of Mark and Lacey's new place...it is very nice. It has two bedrooms upstairs with two baths, a den, a bathroom, living room, dining room, kitchen downstairs, attached two car garage, and a small yard with patio cover.

Mark, Lacey, Kaylee and Syd have a new house. It is very close to there old address and the move should happen in about a month.

Kaylee update...4 months and counting...
